VERY EASY PMDG 737 ILS LANDING TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS ON MSFS2020 | XBOX & PC

[@thatg6838]

Nice! Just to fine tune things. You don’t have to wait for the diamonds to be centred to select the approach mode. While they’re busy moving towards the centre you can already push the APP button which while arm the approach mode and will activate automatically. With the approach mode armed, before the approach captures, you can also already select the second autopilot. Also to help the speed not getting close to stall. When you select flaps… put the speed bug on the same flap number on the airspeed indicator. So flap 1… Speed 1. Flap 2… Speed 2

[@ivorevans1795]

Yes good points on the Cat3 and approach mode. Approach mode always used to be slightly confusing to me until it was described thus: Approach mode NOTHING to do with lateral guidance. All you are doing by selecting it is telling the Auto Pilot that it must now intercept the glide path/slope and ignore alt bugs. If you remember that - much less scary selecting it when you bit behind the curve. Essentially select it any time you are established on the approach and under the glideslope ie before glideslope intercept - AP's generally do not intercept from above the glideslope. I now select approach mode as I turn onto final and in the case of ILS intercepts even before the turn onto final as this leaves less things to do as I sort speed and flaps before intercept.

Hello? Help me? I do the flight plan well, I select the ils and everything, I put the ils of KELP (the airport) which is 111.50, I activate it, I put the course which is 222 and when I am in the approach I turn on the APP and the two autopilots and no It does nothing, it doesn't go up or down, the diamond stays at the first point, it doesn't go down. Is it because I'm too tall? I think my mistake is that I forgot to set the heading or the course on the copilot panel.

This video is so useful! Thanks for never failing to teach people who are unsure about how to fly this beautiful plane. It’ll be great when the Livery Packs release for the PMDG 737-800!

@@Pilot0083 my friend I’m still a little confused about programming a flight, it’s a little complicated but I’m going to practice, I bought the 737-800 on release night and it’s nothing short of amazing! The only plane I’ll ever use absolutely blown away! Do you think we might get the liveries this week!

Cannot wait to try this cause I love flying the Boeing 737-800 but my landings have been rough. Thank you for this tutorial.

Yes sir !

[@Janet_Airlines802]

I just bought the PMDG 800 after owning the 600. What an amazing plane, it really is the best in the game. There are many great planes, but for airliners this is a notch above.

Thanks buddy

Also bro I want to add your like a southern brother that’s my flight instructor in ww2 that’s how I view your channel! That’s why I subscribed

[@jeffchapok]

It should be mentioned that this requires an airport that supports Cat III landings. Not all of them do. It took me a while to figure out why it worked some times and not others.

[@specialopssoldier1]

Thank you for the video..one question are you using route from simbrief or world map?

[@Gav-OneFoxyBingo]

Well that was very informative! I wondered why my landing last night was all over place

[@ScottMatthews88]

Wow I'm early, thank you sir!!

[@CorkSimPilot]

Thanks for the video. As a beginner though, i could have really done with a zoom in on the FMC. I have no idea what you were looking at and where you got the frequency from.

[@edthorne4806]

Another great video thanks man.

[@Fallenup89]

U only need the to punch the ils and course into both auto pilots If u want the plane to do cat3 autoland if u leave it the way its planed if u select a ils approach it will still follow it it just won't auto land 👍

[@zacharypump5910]

Let’s say you’re making a quick decision and the approach isn’t programmed. Can you just tune to the ILS frequency and force the autopilot / Flight Director to nav using the LOC instead of GPS? You can do that easily on GA airplanes without worrying about timing button presses so carefully

[@jonathanjbfoga1983]

Nice vid just a public note. Using the two autopilots is really for doing an auto land but its good to use if u cant keep the plane straight on final approach yet yourself. 💯🙏🏽

[@jonathanjbfoga1983]

@@Pilot0083 YES. So in simpler terms Auto A only flies the glideslope so u will have to disconnect and land the plane yourself nearer to the runway. Auto A and B the plane flies the glideslope and lands itself.

[@dishantlalwani]

very nicely explained for someone whos new to flight simulation thanks just what i was looking for cheers

[@johnb1284]

Definitely need help with this 😊 ? does Simbrief import all nav frequencies for ils or must that be entered manually thanks ☺️

[@BushDid-em1jp]

Do you still have to turn both autopilots on if you’re just doing an ILS approach ?

[@Wilber913]

No just cat3 auto land

Which PDMG 737 version would you recommend to purchase from the Market Place for XBox series X?

[@skywiseaviationuk]

Thanks for this man.

[@kennykanada]

Excellent instruction! Why does the numeral 8 appear in the IAS/Mach speed indicator eg) 8200 instead of just 200? Thx!

[@Incacal71]

I just asked the same question. I think it has something to do with the airplane not being able to hold the airspeed selected because of the current configuration. He wanted to slow down in the descent, so he reduced the airspeed. That’s when he got the blinking number. As soon as he deployed the spoilers, the blinking stopped because now the plane was capable of reaching his selected airspeed. That’s my guess at least. Lol.

[@IMJUSTADOORSGUY]

Hey, Nive Video! I Just Have A Problem Im Having With My PMDG 737-700. I Cant Disarm The Spoilers?

[@keyshon8880]

Is there any way to fly it manually without auto pilot?

[@Wilber913]

No liveries this week: from their forum: Liveries is not coming on next update. The first liveries that would release would be for the DC6 and then the 737, and we have not even started testing them on the DC6. Why didn’t they just ship it with a few 😡😡 Justflight nailed it with the package with liveries

[@Incacal71]

What does the blinking number mean in front of the airspeed selector. It was blinking before you pulled the spoilers out.

[@XisrRein]

Are you expiriencing a lag with the mouse on Xbox like me?

[@vinisantiagopi]

any airport with ils charts I will be able to do the auto land? Or does it have to be only on those that have cat2 charts?

[@ЯрославГончаренко-е5ч]

Hi. And the traction machine does not need to be turned off before landing?

[@ЯрославГончаренко-е5ч]

@@Pilot0083 No. Auto traction, which is responsible for the ores.

[@ЯрославГончаренко-е5ч]

@@Pilot0083 As far as I remember, the A310 auto traction turns off automatically when you touch the strip. And on a Boeing, it seems that before touching, you need to turn off and transfer the ores to low gas. If the auto traction is not turned off, they can interfere with the transfer of ores to low gas. Maybe I'm wrong...

[@Hk-uw8my]

Auto throttle is normally turned off at the same time as the autopilot during manual landings. Or here it was an automatic landing, and in this case the system is designed to retard the throttle at 27ft RA, and will disconnect by itself 2 sec after touchdown.
